The first front to back listening of an album that I distinctly remember is Abbey Road.

It's The White Album for me.

Pretty sure Frankie Teardrop was playing during my birth.

My dad was a big music buff, so "albums back to front" were pretty much all we listened to. The first albums I remember listening to straight through, though? Hmm... well, here are the contenders, I guess:

Clash, The - Combat Rock
Cure, The - Disintegration
Janes Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy
Les Miserables - Dream Cast In Concert; 10th Anniversary
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness
Smiths, The - The Smiths
XTC - Skylarking

Haha, believe it or not I kept humming a part of that song when I was a kid (obviously I loved it!), without having a clue as to who it was performing it. When I suddenly heard the song again last year, I was like "WTF! It was The Beach Boys all along?!?!?!" 😁

I heard my brother play American Idiot in 2005. That was the first album I heard. I didn't get Demon Days until May. We listened to Kerrang a lot before then.

I may never have been into music if my brother hadn't have been forced to get some music albums one evening. 😕

The first song I remember really falling in love with was The Beach Boys' "Kokomo."

Made In USA by The Beach Boys

Although it was probably some barney songs or some shit.

SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION/SORT OF RELEVANT:

Hmmm...I have no clue what I first heard, it could've been anything, maybe shortly after being born for all I know. But I do know that the first album, or cassette, I repeatedly listened to was some sort of Cliff Richard compilation, when I was around 7. The compilation is probably from the 80s, but the songs were from the 50s/60s, and I loved it. When I was about to hear many of the same songs a couple of years ago, I had forgotten just about everything about them, until I actually played them, then they kept unfolding in my mind a few seconds ahead of the media player, it was a surreal experience. Goes to show that the brain keeps more information than you'd expect. 😄

The album I remember first putting on myself and listening from start to finish for the first time was LOVE - The Beatles remix album.

It absolutely blew me away, despite being 80 minutes long I listened to it twice more straight afterwards. It hit every part of him, it's still my favourite album to listen to today - flawlessly executed.
I hadn't realized it until then but albums could, and were, so much more than just a collection of the lastest songs by an artist.

Same here.

Might have been my mother's copy of Billy Joel's Glass Houses...remember seeing that from a young age as well as hearing music from it on the radio at least, and I'm pretty sure I listened to the tape.

Then again, my father had the double vinyl copy of the American Graffiti Soundtrack until a few years ago, and I listened to that a lot. He also had an 8-Track of Kenny Rogers Gold that I liked to listen to. And I had a friend who had the Star Wars Soundtrack...hard to say what I heard first.

At the age of 6 Big Blacks's "Songs About Fucking"....

Just kidding. No I can't remember. My older sister was OBSESSED with Dave Matthews Band and Smashing pumpkins. So probably something by them.
